BDI Agents: From Theory to Practice
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (ICMAS-95
, 1995
"... The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular typ ..."

Intelligent agents: Theory and practice
- The Knowledge Engineering Review
, 1995
"... The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent age ..."

AgentSpeak(L): BDI Agents speak out in a logical computable language
, 1996
"... Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents have been investigated by many researchers from both a theoretical specification perspective and a practical design perspective. However, there still remains a large gap between theory and practice. The main reason for this has been the complexity of theorem-prov ..."

A Roadmap of Agent Research and Development
- INT JOURNAL OF AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS
, 1998
"... This paper provides an overview of research and development activities in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It aims to identify key concepts and applications, and to indicate how they relate to one-another. Some historical context to the field of agent-based computing is give ..."

A Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design
, 1999
"... This paper presents a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The methodology is general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in that it deals with both the macro-level (societal) and the micro-level (agent) aspects of systems. The methodol ..."

. The methodology is founded on the view of a system as a computational organisation consisting of various interacting roles. We illustrate the methodology through a case study (an agent-based business process management system).
The Ant System: Optimization by a colony of cooperating agents
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN, AND CYBERNETICS-PART B
, 1996
"... An analogy with the way ant colonies function has suggested the definition of a new computational paradigm, which we call Ant System. We propose it as a viable new approach to stochastic combinatorial optimization. The main characteristics of this model are positive feedback, distributed computation ..."

COMPUTATIONAL AGENTS
"... Computational agents In the past, most uses of computers focused on automation, that is, the replacement of human workers by a computer system. Examples of these systems are common. For example, before computers, most companies ' accounts were maintained by teams of clerks. Today, most companie ..."

Formalising trust as a computational concept
, 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

? This thesis provides a clarification of trust. We present a formalism for trust which provides us with a tool for precise discussion. The formalism is implementable: it can be embedded in an artificial agent, enabling the agent to make trust-based decisions. Its applicability in the domain of Distributed
The protection of information in computer systems

It concentrates on those architectural structures--whether hardware or software--that are necessary to support information protection. The paper develops in three main sectio ..."

Breaking and Fixing the Needham-Schroeder Public-Key Protocol using FDR
, 1996
"... In this paper we analyse the well known Needham-Schroeder Public-Key Protocol using FDR, a refinement checker for CSP. We use FDR to discover an attack upon the protocol, which allows an intruder to impersonate another agent. We adapt the protocol, and then use FDR to show that the new protocol is s ..."
